Day 2: Tahiti Island Activities - Street Food Experience
On this day, get ready to experience Tahiti's modern local street food culture with your private guide. In Tahitian, "matete" refers to a market where locals buy seasonal fruits, vegetables, and fish. You will visit local vendors and taste authentic local food, such as seasonal fruits, snacks, fish dishes, and juices, to name a few of the delicious tastings from the three different culinary cultures: Tahitian, Chinese, and French. Depending on the season and availability, you will experience a minimum of 10–12 tastings. You will also be visiting a few historical sites in Papeete City.
Operating days are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday (not available on major/bank holidays). The departure time is approximately 9:00 in the morning from city hall. The approximate length of the excursion is between 3 and 4 hours for a half-day tour.
After a delicious breakfast at the resort, be ready for a private guided island tour to explore the natural wonders of Tahiti. This experience is an introduction to the heart of the island of Tahiti in a comfortable 4WD vehicle. Your guide of the day shares information about the flora of the island and the use of plants in medicinal traditions, talks about the valley's flora and fauna, teaches about the island's geological history, and tells the stories and legends of long-age Tahitian chiefdoms. During the exploration, stop at natural pools and rivers for swimming. Eventually, the tour ends at the legendary "Lake Vaihiria," home to the sacred eel that brought the coconut tree to life. The breathtaking viewpoints are only going to make this experience vivid and colorful. This itinerary is subject to change based on weather conditions.

Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.

My travel planner, Jeff, who is on top of his field (based on travel industry awards), is a highly professional, very effective and, at the same time, personally nice individual. What was also critical to me is that he has a first hand experience traveling in the region that I am going to.
On top of that, the customer relations director, Sarah, has personally followed up to make sure I'm happy.
